Giovanni Gabrieli
Giovanni Gabrieli. Composer and organist, he represented the end of the “Venetian School” style and the move into the baroque musical era.
San Mark’s Basilica, had a long tradition of musical excellence and Gabrieli’s work there; made him one of the most noted composers in Europe. The vogue that began with his influential volume “Sacrae symphoniae” (1597), was such that composers from all over Europe and especially from Germany; came to Venice to visit or study under him.
Not only did they carry back the grand Venetian polychoral style to their home countries, but also the more intimate style of madrigals. Heinrich Schütz and others helped transport the transitional early Baroque music north to Germany; a trend that decisively affected subsequent music history. The productions of the German Baroque, culminating in the music of J.S. Bach; were founded on this strong tradition, rooted in Venice.

Biography
Gabrieli was born in Venice. He was one of five children, and his father came from the region of Carnia and went to Venice shortly before Giovanni's birth.
